Jeep’s 201,976-Vehicle TPMS Recall Includes 527 PHEVs, Federal Filing Shows

A U.S. Jeep tire-pressure-monitoring recall covers 201,976 potentially involved vehicles, but FCA US's federal filing shows the plug-in-hybrid portion is much smaller: 526 model-year 2024-2026 Grand Cherokee PHEVs and one model-year 2026 Grand Wagoneer L PHEV.¹

That makes 527 explicitly listed PHEVs in the campaign, or about 0.26% of the total based on newsroom arithmetic from the filing's model-level counts. The 201,976 figure is the campaign's mixed-powertrain total, not an EV or PHEV count.¹

What FCA says the TPMS software can do

FCA's Part 573 filing says suspect Radio Frequency Hub software can cause the tire-pressure monitoring system to lose function, including failing to accurately detect low tire pressure or illuminate the low-pressure warning telltale.¹ FCA identifies the condition as a noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, which covers tire-pressure monitoring systems.¹

The filing says a TPMS that cannot warn the driver when tire pressure is outside recommended limits can create a crash risk without prior warning.¹ That is FCA's stated safety-risk assessment. The Part 573 report reviewed for this story does not provide a crash or injury count, so it does not establish that this campaign caused a crash or injury.¹

FCA says it will conduct a voluntary safety recall and have dealers reprogram the Radio Frequency Hub with updated software.¹

What affected PHEV owners should check

FCA's filing schedules dealer notification and campaign VIN searchability for Sept. 9, followed by phased owner remedy notifications from Sept. 29 through Oct. 21.¹ Those dates are the schedule stated in the filing; they should not be read as proof that every public VIN surface had already updated at the time of this draft.

The model and model-year rows alone cannot tell an owner whether a particular Jeep is included. NHTSA's recall service lets owners check by VIN or license plate for unrepaired recalls, and also provides year, make and model recall searches.²

For the PHEV portion of NHTSA campaign 26V559, also identified by FCA as campaign 54D, the federal filing's scope is specific: 526 Grand Cherokee PHEVs plus one Grand Wagoneer L PHEV.¹
